So many times we do our demo only to find some schmuck poured concrete down the chimney, or something else that is a major problem. You got really lucky there, and I really like what you did with the mantle, especially the height.Amanda Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883043855456944847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830977013834287719.post-2976730323245517862009-04-05T15:11:00.000-04:002009-04-05T15:11:00.000-04:00What a find with the brick underneath.

My next door neighbor labored long and hard to build a brick fireplace and mantle and you found one covered up!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great photos and step-by-step on what you did.

It reminds me a lot of the one in our 1832 house.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy seeing what you are doing in your row house. We have lived in several row houses -- in Pittsburgh and NYC. Fabulous homes. How wide is your house? One of ours in Pittsburgh was only 12-feet wide! We never got to actually live in it, had to move back to NY and sold it.<BR/><BR/>good luck with your restoration/renovation. Fantastic work!

This is the first I've heard of the foam fireplace inserts. Why on earth are they so expensive?
